A few years back I bought a bunch of bulbs at Lowes and planted them. This time of year they make amazing flowers, but as you can see, they lean eastward (this particular area gets full sun). Inevitably some will just completely flop over. Any tips on how I can these to stand up straight? I would not think every lily should require its own support pole?

Maybe they don't like the heat off of the brick wall

Lillies do not like warm soil around roots that brick wall might be making it too warm like another poster said. Its often beneficial to plant other plants that are shorter to shade the soil around the roots.

This makes good sense. I might just try to relocate the bulbs after the season.
